Variety is reporting that Edward James Olmos is in negotiations to star in a film adaptation of the BOOM! comic series 2 Guns.

The Oscar nominated Olmos (Stand and Deliver, 1998) is reportedly being courted for the role of a Mexican drug lord in the film, which tells the tale of two undercover government agents who are unknowingly working together. The agents are played by Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg and two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington.
